True! many igbos are even claiming they are from Yorubaland now. All of them might get yoruabanized in the nearest Future because of their obsession with Yorubaland. This one here will eventually marry a Yoruba boy and her children will be yoruba

And by then yoruba's will start crying that Lagos has been taken over by Igbos right?

Do u want me to school you? I can if u want me too.

Pls school me how banjo surrendered to Benjamin adekunle who was commanding the 3th Marin battalion who entered through Calabar and were moving upward to portarcourt while banjo himself was sent to the Midwest across river niger from onitsha

Wow
Is this accurate
I doubt.
If it were
Land won’t be so expensive back then but no internet lol
Really all of south not up to 10 million

Explain further

funmijoyb:

The biafran war almost annihilated a lot of Igbos with killings of over 3 millions of Igbos. The entire tribe could have been wiped out by Hausa/Fulani's if not for timely response of Victor Banjo that surrendered to a Yoruba man by the name BLACK SCORPION. Unfortunately Ojukwu killed him to massage his Ego. Just like the "Peter Obi" lost his election but doesn't want to accept defeat due to Ego.

Who is this fool? Did u read history in a shrine?

Are you surprised ?
Alot nairaland clowns from SW are not lettered

RepoMan007:
Urhobo, Ishan, Isoko, Itsekiri, Anioma, Calabars, Calabar? Are they camerounian tribes?

If read history books written during the colonial period, Urhobo, Isoko, Ishan, Afemai, Owan, Bini, and all other Edoid peoples were all classified as "Edo".

Too many kids on nairaland

Kirigidi:

. You are making an assumption
And then extrapolating
The reality is that the colonial period was very different in technology from today

Coverage of the country was skeletal
There was no electricity
No phone no radio no roads when this census was conducted
So called "History books" are not authoritative

The very fact that peoples might have been wrongly classified undermines their reliability

Gajagojo:


That is what you want to believe
That is an idea that is sweet in your stomach so you want it to be true
The reality is that the Northerners in particular boycotted and resisted this 1921 census because they distrusted the motives
Another census was carried out in 1931 look for it
We are talking about an era when the main mode of transport was walking and the bicycle
People need to pause and imagine what technology existed in the world in 1921 not to talk of Nigeria

There was no radio station in the country at that time
Stop for a moment to imagine a census in A Nigeria where most people were illiterate,there were no roads,no cars,no electricity,no radio ,no TV
And people resisting it because not everyone accepted Colonial authority

Wetin concern north for this thread. Defend your own Yoruba tribe Mr man

Corn247:


So anyone can just adopt anywhere as his origin ?? Even the British PM won't say he is not from Indian despite the fact that his father was born in Europe.

You people are very weird

He is not from India as a country but he is Indian by ethnicity. Why una people hard to educate?

Mrfeel:

Banjo surrendered to Benjamin adekunle ? The two never met in the war and the two were not in the war when it ended so how did banjo surrender to adekunle?

The yoruba historian are a big joke. Banjo that died before the war ended. Banjo that entered Benin from Enugu by land while adekunle entered port Harcourt through Lagos by the sea

They were not wrongly classified. They are all Edoid groups till now. They are different tribes but under the greater Edo nation based on linguistic and Anthropological affinity. Some are asserting different identity but it's all political

And adekunle's journey in the war ended in aba , he almost ran mad out of frustration he wanted to take , aba owerri and umuahia at once before October 1 so that it will be celebrated on Nigerian independent day , he lost almost 6 thousand soldiers in that battle at once including commander SHADE a Tiv man who had about 20 thousand Tiv soldiers under him , the Tiv soldiers made up half of the 40 thousand troops that were under the 3th Marin battalion which adekunle was in charge , the Tiv soldiers protested and were unwilling to fight again , after that incident gowon called him back to Lagos replacing him with obasanjo

Even without boycott of the Censor and a new one in 1931, most of the people in the East, North and West then were classed as Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba.

Try that today, they will cry murder, sue you and tell you the history of your grandfather

Mrfeel:

You deserve no response. What's your addiction with Lagos? Yet is not only Lagos alone your people are migrating to in the SW.
I am glad Igbo people are coming to Yoruba's land cause is giving them exposure. An Igbo in the SW is thrice knowledgeable and smarter to the Igbos up East.

You are now schooling me about Igbos, what happened to you schooling me about banjo surrendering to adekunle you wanted to school me about .

Yes Igbos in south west are more knowledgeable and smarter than you , cause I see how dull you are trying to school me about something you have no knowledge of

igwebuike01:

Being from Lagos doesn't mean being yoruba. Same mistake we are correcting you. A Yoruba man is busy building roads in Enugu state. But he is still yoruba by tribe but adopted Enugu as his state

Being from Lagos means being Yoruba. You can live in Lagos and still say you're from port Harcourt.
All Laagosians are Yoruba's just like all Anambra people are Igbo.

igwebuike01:

Which other tribes Mr man? The fake tribes you oil thieves created. Same tribes speaking igbo and practicing Igbo culture

So in your mind you classify the "Urhuobos and Itsekiris" as Igbo too? Na wa for una classification. I beg with the name of God, the Urhuobos are never Igbo. Thank you.

Nigeria Population: 1921 CENSUS.
1] Yoruba ---------- 2,113,000
2] Igbo ------------- 3,927,000
3] Edo ----------------- 472,000
4] Ibibio --------------- 960,000
5] Ijaw ----------------- 174,000

It’s still the same today
If ethnicity was included in the census today, you’ll see that Igbo is still the largest tribe in the south .

muykem:
Other ethnic groups in South South apart from Edo, IJaw and Ibiobio were erroneously counted as Igbo.

many groups in Kwara,kogi were also erroneously counted as Yorubas

Yoruba people don't know this. They only make noise with civilian casualties. They should ask their elders for the scores on millitary casualties on both sides

Urhobos and itshekiri are under the Edo nation

Shifting goalposts as usual. Lack of adventure is the problem with yoruba people

They are not ashamed of showcasing their half baked education to the public.

In his mind now , he decimated Igbos.
